All events are free to attend, just remember to bring something to eat and drink if you’re coming to one of the picnics.

Councillor Anna King, cabinet member for community engagement, said: “Love Parks Week is a great opportunity to celebrate and raise awareness of the town’s parks and green, open spaces.

“We’re very proud of our parks and want residents and visitors to be proud of them too, so I urge you to respect the parks, leave them clean and to report any instances of littering, graffiti or other unsightly mess.

“If we can do this then our parks can continue to be one of Northampton’s best assets and offer pleasant surroundings for people to get some fresh air and enjoy their leisure and sporting activities.”
